BUNG-EXTRACTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 359,998, dated March 29, 1887.

Application filed November 30, 1886. Serial No. 220.313. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PHILIP CHRISTMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing in Allegheny City, county of Allegheny, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Tool for Extracting -Wooden Bungs from Barrels or Kegs, of which the following is the specification.

My invention relates to improvements in bung cutting and pulling tools; and the object of my improvement is to make a good, strong, and useful tool of steel or other material and which shall be simpler and better than the ones now in use, and which shall do the work better and quicker. I attain these objects by the tool illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of said bung cutting and pulling tool, showing how the point of the tool enters the wooden hung and cuts away one half thereof. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of said hung cutting and pulling tool, showing how it is used in pulling out the other half of bung that remained in the bung-hole- \Vith the pointed end of the tool I out out a part of the bung, thus making an orifice through it, and through this orifice I insert the hooked end of the tool. By turning the tool on a vertical axis until the hook comes under the part of the bung remaining in the cask, I am enabled to pull out this part of the bung.

What I claim as new is- A bnngextraetor having a curved pointed part for cutting out a part of the hung, as described, and having at the rear end of the handle a hooked part for pulling out the re mainder of the hu n g, substantially as set forth.

PHILIP CHRISTMAN.
